Pick an end, any end: Lost that critical Christmas cable? We know how you feel

You are fettered, said Scrooge, trembling. Tell me why? Richard Speed Sat 2 Jan 2021 // 09:30 UTC Share Copy 12BoC It s that Christmas feeling: scrabbling around for the correct cable to attach a poppet s new toy to the family TV. Getting into the swing of things, today s bork, the ninth in our Twelve Borks of Christmas (12BoC) series , sees something similar on a screen outside Waitrose. Register reader Ian Bonham, garbed in the most fetching of hi-vis, spotted this distressed product of JCDeceaux outside posh hummus hustlers Waitrose in the historic Suffolk town of Bury St Edmunds. Click to enlarge Normally serving up steamy piles of product pitches to passing punters, the screen looks to us like it might be showing some form of connection error. It s not one with which we re altogether familiar, although we re pretty sure it isn t a lure to tempt customers into the store to purchase the cables within.

Sun, sea and sad signage: And lo, they saw a shining light in the sky... oh, it's a BIOS error

Santas sled of bork comes to Lanzarote Richard Speed Fri 1 Jan 2021 // 09:30 UTC Share Copy 12BoC Viva Las Borkas! A trip to warmer parts today and a sign that seems to be showing us that most of unusual of things: a bork within a bork, on this, the eighth instalment of our Twelve Borks of Christmas (12BoC) series . Spotted by Register reader David outside a bus station at Lanzarote s Playa Blanca, a billboard that normally flings marketing [Google Maps] at waiting wannabe-passengers looks like it is having a bad time of things. David s first picture showed us the poor thing glowing in the distance, and made us think first that we were looking at a UFO sighting or maybe the premature arrival of the baby jeebus.

All I want for Christmas is cash: Welsh ATMs are unbeatable. Or unbootable. Something like that

Register reader stories of amusing and frustrating tech sightings over the festive period. It s an expensive time of year, and this seventh bork of Christmas tells the tale of how hopes of purchasing festive adult beverages in a local hostelry with cold hard cash were dealt a cruel blow. Spotted by Register reader Gavin Burnett while on a Christmas shopping excursion in South Wales, this cashpoint outside the Tesco in Ystrad Mynach is making its humble PC origins clear. Click to enlarge The message, Reboot and Select proper Boot device , indicates that something has gone amiss with the internals – perhaps a failed disk or some other hardware error. Certainly, the silicon that powers many ATMs can hardly be regarded as cutting edge.

The curse of knowing a bit about IT: 'Could you just...?' and 'No I haven't changed anything'

Register reader stories of amusing and frustrating tech sightings over the festive period. Fixing the kit of friends and family is a fixture for many of us over the festive period. Today s story comes from Register reader Remy and describes a situation all too familiar. Cast your mind back to when Windows XP was the latest and greatest, and people around the world were waking up to a belated realisation that the Internet was perhaps not the safest of places, with miscreants lurking around every virtual corner. Remy was visiting a friend and, being knowledgeable in the dark arts of IT, was asked by the friend s father to work out why his desktop computer had mysteriously stopped being able to access the home printer.
